Hello! I'm so excited to be teaching 1st Grade this year! I back at Mountain View after spending some time being a Mom at home with my young children. I've missed you!

I'm originally from Colorado Springs. I have a 3 year old son, Noah, and a 1 year old daughter, Jacey! Noah loves dinosaurs and Jacey loves music! I love to walk, read, do crossfit, and watch TV. My favorite foods are pepperoni pizza and green chili smothered burritos. Yum! I love watching Brooklyn 99 and Friends, listening to Taylor Swift and Beyonce, and reading all kinds of books!

I'm so excited to be back at MVE. We have such a welcoming community. I have a big heart and will always do my best to meet your child's needs!

You'll see me in the afternoons in the front office. I get to take care of all our kiddos. I pass out a lot of bandaids and ice packs! 😁 I've been a sub in DCSD since 2017 and am excited to be at MVE now!

I was born in Cheyenne, WY however I have in CO for most of my life. I have a husband (Chris) daughter Kamryn who is a sophomore at CSU. My son Casen is an 8th grader at Sagewood and Aiden is in pre-K here at Mountain View. We have a corgi chihuahua rescue named "Barron."

I love going to the mountains with family, Bookclub, walking, spending time with family and friends. My favorite foods are probably Mexican and Italian. I love comedies! I love all sorts of music and a variety of books!

I am excited to get to know all of the great kiddos at Mountain View!

DCSD will conduct a test of its emergency notification system, including email, social media, text and voice messaging on Thursday, September 19. Should a real emergency arise, the test will be delayed.

How do I update my emergency contact information?

If you need to update your contact preferences, log into the Infinite Campus Parent Portal and click on the “person” icon in the top right-hand corner of the page. Navigate to “Contact Preferences” and review your contact information. If you see an incorrect phone number or email, please update it in Infinite Campus, or contact the registrar at your child’s school to request an update.

What phone number will my caller ID show when I get emergency calls?

NOTE: We have transitioned to a different system this year, so the phone number has changed!

When you receive emergency communication from the DCSD Finalsite system, the number displayed will be:

• Emergency Notifications (critical communications)

• 855-269-0502 (you may wish to add this number to your contacts)

Have additional questions?

Should you have additional questions, please contact the IT Support Center (303-387-0001) to ensure you receive emergency notifications accurately and quickly.

During the August 27 Board Meeting, the DCSD Board of Education voted unanimously to place a $490 million Bond on the November ballot. If approved by voters, Douglas County homeowners would not see an increase in current property taxes. The Bond amount would allow the school district restructure its debt in order to keep property taxes from increasing. The Bond would help us care for our 112 facilities to ensure our staff and students have safe and comfortable learning environments, build schools in fast-growing developments in Douglas County, upgrade safety and security in our schools, and offer additional Career and Technical Education programs. Learn more at the links below. Read more about DCSD’s funding challenges.

• Watch Superintendent Erin Kane's August 27 presentation to the Board of Education.

• Click here for details on what each of DCSD’s existing schools would receive should the Bond be approved by voters.
